Corn Cockle Dawn Creek Blush







Product Description
Corn Cockle ‘Dawn Creek Blush’
Agrostemma githago
Seed for this treasured variety came from our friend Kori at Dawn Creek Farm. Plants have long, slender gray stems that carry delicate flowers that look like little ballerinas twirling in the air. Buds start out a soft baby pink and as flowers open they slowly fade to blush, and eventually white, as they age. The delicate blooms flutter in the breeze and they are a must-grow for wedding work.
*All parts of the plants are poisonous if ingested. Use caution around children and pets.*
